I know this has been asked prolly FIDDY times but what kind of paint are you guys using for your frames? how many coats? clearcoat? and does it chip off after a certain while? thanks

dogger
powder coating is the best if you want it to stay on for like a show bike stuff
some guys use spray can cause you can nib it with some sand paper and do touch ups when needed
to each his own all a matter of what floats your boat
i dont particularly like the rattle can cause the clear isnt as pretty
but if your gonna be scratchin it up alot its probably the easiest way to do it
i painted mine with regular automotive base coat clear coat paint im a painter so its no biggie for me to touch it up

 

its just a 50....rattle can that bitch

its gonna get messed up anyhow...i dont care what these people tell you.
you can spend $3 on a can of paint...or a $100 or $200 for powder coating.

but after $3 paint job...and you mess it up...would you care?
now if you have $100-$200 in it and mess it up ...are you upset?

 

dood, i just did a frame with this **** from wal-mart. its spray on bedliner in a can. cost about $6 and gives u that textured look a bit and dont scratch off very easily. its like a satin black. try it out.

 

0o0o0o0o0o0 r we gonna paint ur frame nate??

 

I painted mine RATTLE CAN STYLE!!! sandblasted the frame, put about 10 coats of primer on it, and about 10 or so coats of paint.....3 clear coats and off i went!! lol

looks good who cares its just a fiddy not a Ferrari.........


see pic...........oh go vote for my fiddy in the jokerz forum!!! under SHERMAN!!!! I need more votes!!!

 

i posted a pic, and for some reason its not posting it......go to the jokerz fiddy bling contest and look on page one.....my bike is rattle can and i think it looks good......dont forget to vote!! SHERMAN lol

 

yeah dude i wanna do it this weekend but i also wanna wait until i have ordered the rims so i can match the color better... you dont even know about that blue frame blue rim ****... :YEAH

 

If you want it to look good and be durable, i would definitely go with powdercoating.

 

If you clear it's durable, especially if you just stunt. Just make sure and use the same brand clear and base paints or you can get an undesired reaction. Also spray the clear after the base becomes tacky/stringy to the touch, not completely dry, or the clear will eat the base and you will get a wrinkled effect ......don't ask. But check mine out on the contest thread I think it looks pimp.

 

I did a bunch of rifle stocks and the bumper of my jeep with that stuff. It's really easy to apply smoothly and is extremely durable. It came out looking good on everything I've done. Although I think it's impossible to remove short of sand-blasting.

 

nate lets have paint the weekend ... cause i want to throw that yellow even though sherman had it 1st but he doesnt have anything on my yellow fur

i read somewhere on here people taped up their spokes and painted their rims .. **** im all about the cheap clean look its a damn 50 not a car ... but nate u do act like a puto about scratching your 50 so im sure u will want it lookin all pimp

sherman or nick .. what brand of rattle can stuff do you use so i know what to pick up when i goto the store thx

 

check it (https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/13-xr50-minibike-forums/57817-lil-bodyshop-bling.html), i went for the professional bodyshop paint, but only b/c my boy works there and hooked it up. if he hadn't done it i would've sprayed and baked that biatch, but this way was well worth all the effort cause i usually insist on going all out and doing it the best way...

see im not trying to drop alot of money on mine and have it show quality .. i just want to rattle it up with some clear coats add some furr and beat it up

im going for my old gsxr yellow in my avatar

 

I wanna get mine powdercoated, but I know it'll never happen

 

It only costs like $70 TOTAL, you cheap bastard!

 

well, I thought it would be more... I'd really like to do it before I really start riding it.... I wanna do a lot of the metal parts

 

does it really matter if you sandblast it first or not ... doggman got his hooked up with sandblaster and paint came out smooth on it .. what difference will it make if i dont have my sandblaster and im too damn lazy to hand sand that ****

 

powdercoated mine, get to know someone that does powdercoating, then get em to do it for a couple bucks. Thats how I got mine done and its sick and durable. ~nick
